Privacy Policy

Who we are

Our website address is: http://dailyquordlepoem.com

Comments (if enabled)

When visitors leave comments on the site we collect the data shown in the comments form, and also the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to help spam detection.

An anonymized string created from your email address (also called a hash) may be provided to the Gravatar service to see if you are using it. The Gravatar service privacy policy is available here: https://automattic.com/privacy/. After approval of your comment, your profile picture is visible to the public in the context of your comment.

Media

If you upload images to the website, you should avoid uploading images with embedded location data (EXIF GPS) included. Visitors to the website can download and extract any location data from images on the website.

Cookies

We use cookies for normal site operations, for keeping aggregated statistics about this site, and for helping with login persistence for posting and commenting. These cookies and their use are declared to you via our cookie policy plugin, currently CookieYes, when you first visit in a browser, or if you have deleted cookies. Via that plugin, you can turn off all but strictly necessary cookies. We currently do not have a commercial purpose and do not use cookies for any commercial purposes. We do not serve advertisements, do not market data.

Embedded content from other websites

Articles on this site may include embedded content (e.g. videos, images, articles, etc.). Embedded content from other websites behaves in the exact same way as if the visitor has visited the other website. Example: embedded YouTube videos.

These websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with that embedded content, including tracking your interaction with the embedded content if you have an account and are logged in to that website.

Who we share your data with

We do not share your data or identity with other entities:

  • If we ever enable plugins, to help users who want to cross post their content to others services, such as, for example, Twitter. In this case, your user id, and if you have supplied them, other attributes such as your name accompanying your id will be part of the cross-post.
  • In compliance with law enforcement requests made through a court order or some mechanism with legal force.
  • If you use another party, such as Google, to authenticate to the site, your identity has to be shared with that party for “other party identification” to work.

If you request a password reset, your IP address will be included in the reset email (this lets you see in the email if someone else is maliciously requesting to have your password reset).

How long we retain your data

If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This is so we can recognize and approve any follow-up comments automatically instead of holding them in a moderation queue.

For users that register on our website (if any), we also store the personal information they provide in their user profile. All users can see, edit, or delete their personal information at any time (except they cannot change their username). Website administrators can also see and edit that information.

What rights you have over your data

If you have an account on this site, you can request to receive an exported file of your content (there are ways for you to do this yourself, as well). You can also request that we completely erase any data we have from you (this means you are requesting to leave). This does not include any data we are obliged to keep for administrative, legal, or security purposes. This does not include operational logs, which may contain your IP address or user name. (However these logs are only used to keep the site in good operating condition, or diagnose problems, or for forensic purposes, if there is illegal or hostile activity on the site).

If you need help obtaining your data or requesting erasure of your data you can email the administrator via “daily quordle poem @ gmail . com” (remove extraneous spaces). Since this is a not for profit/volunteer run site, please allow time for the activities involved in fulfilling these requests.

By publishing posts or comments here, you consent to your content being published here. You also acknowledge that others might copy and reuse your content which they find here (which we cannot control). However, this site will only use your content for the purpose you came here here for: to publish it here. If you cross-post from this site, that will also be a use you have consented to.

We will not use your content for any other purposes without your express permission.

You retain copyright over your content, but automatically permit its publication here, or its use via cross-posting which you exercise from here.

If you are asked to leave over code of conduct issues we will allow you to request your data for up to a year after you have left. (However you can also request to have everything erased, which we will do). At any time within a year after withdrawal, you can email the administrator with a request for your data or for its erasure. Look for the administrator address above.

We reserve the right to take down conduct that is deemed offensive by the administrators.

The goal of the above is to give you control: 1. you can ask for things to be deleted and we will delete it, 2. but we also save stuff for you for a while so that you can ask for a copy, since it’s your content.

Where we send your data

Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service.

If we enable cross-posting to other sites, and if you use such capabilities, your data can be sent other sites you cross-post to.
